In the beginning of February, I AM MADE Entertainment brought to Vancouver the L.A. local online singing/songwriting sensation Jason Chen for INSPIRE 2012. After long moments of swooning over his smooth vocals in covers of musicians like Bruno Mars or Jason Mraz, and a few of his originals, we got the opportunity to sit down with him and chat. Though an article will appear at a later date, we have here a few of our Valentine-like questions for the squealing fan girls out there.
What would you do for a first date?
Dunno, it just depends on what she likes. I would have to take it case by case, there’s no, like, playbook I go with.
Friend-zoning: Have you been friend-zoned? Or have you done the friend-zoning?
No… no, I haven’t. Not really. I’m good at [avoiding] that particularly because I can kind of tell if I’m going to be friend-zoned and then I just don’t go that way. I never really let anyone get a chance to become the friend-zone in my, from my point of view. Because I dont like drama, I avoid all that.
Way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. What would be a perfect dinner for you? Say a girl who wants to get to know you better invites you to dinner. What would melt your heart?
Hm. The perfect dinner she would make me… it would be more based on consistency, really. Because I’m like, “one meal?” I don’t really mind. It can be something really simple, something really gourmet but it would be just one meal so it wouldn’t really stick to my mind. If it had to be that one meal, I would say, like… either.. japanese food or italian food. Because if it was that one meal it would be more based on effort, like she spent a lot of time it…. But like as I was saying before, I treasure more, like, consistency and loyalty. I’d rather her make me something simple every night than like, go all out on that one meal. It’s more about that for me, more the principle. If you spent a bunch of time I’d be like ‘woah cool,’ but I’d still eat it [regardless].
The ultimate trick-no-win girl question: “Does this dress make me look fat?”
No.
(pause)
If the dress actually makes her look fat where the other dresses don’t, I would tell her “you should probably wear a different dress.” If she’s just kinda been gaining weight, and no other dress is going to make her look [better], I would say no.
Are you seeing anyone?
No.
Three things no one else knows about you that you would like them to know.
My first dream was to be a truck driver, because they had really big cars on the freeway and I thought that was really cool.
[My] second dream was to be president of the United States. And then my third dream was to be an NBA basketball player… and this is all before middle school. All before 6th grade, all before I was 10. I had three dreams before I was 10.
